Month: April 2018

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the team has not ruled out signing free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.Limited Womens Bryan Anger Jersey
We’re still looking at all of our options, Carroll said in an interview on Seattle radio station, KJR. We’re trying to figure it out. We just want to work to be as competitive as we can. Whether that factors in or not, we’ll find out. The discussion and the opportunity is still open.

Kaepernick was slated to have a meeting and possible workout with the team sometime last week, but those were reportedly cancelled after Kaepernick reportedly declined to say if he would continue to kneel in protest in the upcoming 2018 season.

Brandon Belt and Pablo Sandoval had two hits apiece for the Giants.

This was one of those games that started out rough and gradually got worse, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. You get down like that and you’re looking for someone to put up a zero and we had a hard time doing that.

Samardzija labored through a 30-pitch first inning and was done after retiring 11 batters, a quick ending to his second start of the season. He gave up six runs, eight hits and three walks, a stark contrast to his first start when he pitched five scoreless innings against the Angels.

With regards to the quarterback class this year, this is just us, the Saints, the guy we had graded very high last year was Mahomes, Payton said. I don’t know that I see that player in this class.

Despite the interest in Mahomes, Payton is more than happy with Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who the Saints ultimately selected with the No. 11 overall pick.

Had both of them been there, we would have taken Lattimore. We had the higher grade on the corner.

The Saints could be the landing spot for Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph in the first round this year. New Orleans usually drafts the best player available on their board, though, so if the quarterbacks didn’t grade out high, the Saints may not be their destination.

Beane told Sports Illustrated that Allen was emotional during the afternoon call.

Elite Brent Urban Jersey At first, he was Josh Bell Youth jersey very direct and contrite, Beane told SI. As we talked to him about this thing, he was emotional. You could hear the tears on the other line. We told him, ‘Collect yourself.’ And he owned up to it.

Jon Gruden has done plenty of complaining about the rules for offseason work since returning to active coaching duties with the Raiders early this year, but he can turn his energy in a different direction this week.
We have to see how fast he learns and how fast he can grasp everything and then get some experience, Bowles said. We’re not going to throw him in there, but at the same time we’re not going to hold him back either.

The Jets did plenty of work on Darnold. Maccagnan personally scouted five of Darnold’s games. They met with him at the scouting combine, attended his Pro Day last month then had him in for a private workout this month and as one of their pre-draft visits.Elite Kids Vegas Golden Knights Jersey
The Jets took him out to the Jockey Hollow restaurant in Morristown, N.J., where they joked with him about how young he was and that at 20 he could not order an alcoholic drink. During the process, the Jets came to find Darnold checked all the boxes.

Originally a third-round pick from West Virginia, Worley started 14 games for the Panthers last year, but they were looking for an upgrade.

The Raiders released cornerbacks Sean Smith and David Amerson this offseason, and have added corners in bulk since then, bringing in Leon Hall, Rahsaan Melvin, Shareece Wright, and Senquez Golson, giving Emmanuel Lamur Authentic Jersey them a multiple-choice test to fill secondary roles.

A man named Joel Buchsbaum probably could have carried the same cachet as Ernie Adams with the New England Patriots.

Adams, who is shrouded in mystery, is the Patriots’ director of football research. It’s not clear exactly what Adams does, but he’s clearly influential. Bill Belichick nearly hired another employee like that in Buchsbaum, who is considered The Godfather of the mock draft, according to a lengthy feature by Sports Illustrated.

“Joel Buchsbaum was one of my best friends,” Belichick said at Buchsbaum’s funeral, according to the Pro Football Weekly’s Hub Arkush.

James Reimer, former Maple Leafs goalie: We didn’t think we had it in the bag. Not against that team. Not to say that you give the other team too much respect, but you understand that anything can happen. You knew they weren’t going to roll over. They were a good team, you know? We couldn’t take anything for granted. We knew going into the third period, the game wasn’t over.

Lucic: I just remember sitting on the bench and saying to the guys that if we can get one before the 10-minute mark, make it 4-2, we’ll give ourselves a chance to win. Just saying that, and getting guys to believe in it, was big. And fortunately enough, we were able to do that on the Nathan Horton goal [at 9:18 of the third period]. Our mentality and our mindset changed. Then I scored my goal [at 18:38].

However, it seems unlikely that Barkley will still be on the board when Tampa Bay is on the clock, unless Licht & Co. decide to trade up. Indeed, there has been plenty of buzz connecting Barkley to the Giants — who have the No. 2 overall selection — in recent weeks, and he may not make it past Cleveland’s No. 4 overall pick. Even the Broncos and Colts, who have the Nos. 5 and 6 overall picks, respectively, could feel that Barkley’s upside is too great to pass up (Indianapolis is also known to have hosted Barkley during the pre-draft season).

And, despite Barkley’s tremendous track record of collegiate success and his potential at the next level, it’s doubtful Tampa Bay would surrender a significant amount of draft capital to move up for a RB.

Colin Moran (L), 25 percent, Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Colorado Rockies (RHP German Marquez): Moran has been a frequent visitor to this space. We try not to repeat the same player too often, but on a shorter Monday docket, sometimes there won’t be a choice.

Philip Rivers is 36. He understands he won’t play forever. At the same time, the Chargers quarterback insists he has plenty of football left in him.
Goodell also was asked about what discussions owners had regarding players standing for the national anthem.

The real focus of the meeting on the social justice was passing, which we did unanimously, the last piece of our program that we worked out with the Players’ Coalition, which was to create a platform to address the issues which the players had raised, that they’re passionate about. And the ownership wanted to support them, Goodell said. That was the vast majority of our conversation over the last couple days. There was some discussion on the anthem but only in the context of ‘Is this the platform in which to help the players address these issues in their communities and make sure we’re in a better place?’

Bergstrom originally entered the NFL as a third-round selection of the Raiders in the 2012 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 53 regular-season games with seven starts in a career that also includes stints with the Texans and Cardinals.

Bennie Fowler Youth Jersey Washington also announced it picked up the fifth-year option worth $12.5 million on guard Brandon Scherff, which was reported earlier Monday. Scherff was the fifth overall choice in 2015.

Last year McDowell was arrested for disorderly conduct, in an incident that likely didn’t do anything to endear McDowell to the Seahawks’ brass.

Albies went 2 for 3 and is hitting .426 in 47 at-bats since beginning his first full season 2 for 20.

Herrera’s first homer of the season made it 1-0 in Jacob McQuaide Authentic Jersey the first. Atlanta made it 1-1 in the bottom half of the inning when Ender Inciate walked, stole second, advanced to third on Albies’ single and scored on a double-play grounder by Freddie Freeman.

Someone had better get ready to hit the bleep button.
Former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, who has a reputation for colorful (and at times profane) language, will become an in-game analyst during the 2018 football season.

Via Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic, Arians currently is weighing two offers. He expects to make a decision within the next two weeks.

Unless one of the offers is from ESPN for Monday Night Football, Arians will likely choose between becomes one of the Sunday afternoon color analysts on FOX or CBS.Kids Joffrey Lauvergne Jersey
The postponement came hours after a post on the Blue Jays’ official Twitter feed boasted the Rogers Centre was immune to weather woes. The since-deleted tweet, which included a winking emoji, read: Weather update: Due to our stadium having a roof, today’s game will be … Played as expected.

The Minnesota Vikings, who dealt with multiple roof collapses at their former home, the Metrodome, later tweeted a message to the Blue Jays saying Been there, done that (at)BlueJays. We’re here if you need any support.

Leaf, who deserves plenty of credit for turning his life around after a lengthy battle with addiction, has plenty of opinions for a guy who washed out of the league without doing much other than taking millions from the Chargers, millions that could have gone to other far more deserving players. And people keep listening to, and repeating, what Leaf has to say.

Mike Singletary Womens Jersey Most recently, Ryan Leaf suggested that, of the five guys at the top of the quarterback class in 2018, Baker Mayfield reminds Ryan Leaf the most of the 1998 version of Ryan Leaf.

A good litmus test for me is always when I listen to radio interviews or TV interviews, I tend to close my eyes and just listen to the voice, and hear the answer. I always say, ‘If it sounds like Authentic Luke Willson Jersey the 1998 version of Ryan Leaf, there’s definitely a red flag that needs to be raised there, Leaf said during an appearance on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland, via the New York Daily News.

Speaking for the first time since the release of Dez Bryant last Friday, Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the move was made with careful consideration of a number of factors, from the wide receiver’s production to his cost.Limited Youth Santiago Casilla Jersey
In an interview with NFL Network after his release, Bryant referred to Garrett guys and players who wear the C, as captains, as playing a part in the team’s decision. Dak Prescott, Jason Witten and Sean Lee were three of the Cowboys’ six captains in 2017.

For me, I mean being a quarterback, being a captain, I take the blame, Prescott said. I take all the blame. When you lose, things like this happen. So Dez knows how I feel. We’ve shared messages and he knows my stance on everything so I wish him well.

Well, I think I know my role, and that’s to play as well as I possibly can at quarterback, Rodgers said Tuesday on the first day of the Packers’ offseason workouts.

There are decisions that are going to be made from a personal standpoint. That’s the toughest part. You’re in this business for a long time, and you start relationships with your coaches and players. As you get older — and I knew this as a young player — if I had the possibility and success to play a long time, I’d probably outlive a lot of close friends in this business. Because the longevity offered to a quarterback is obviously greater than a guy who’s banging heads all the time, or running all over the field. So that’s the toughest part about the whole thing, is losing guys over the years.

Charles Leno Limited Jersey This offseason, Rodgers said goodbye to his favorite receiver, Jordy Nelson, and his quarterbacks coach, Alex Van Pelt, whose contract was not renewed. Rodgers told ESPN Radio’s Golic & Wingo at the Super Bowl that he was not consulted when the Packers made a change with his position coach. Head coach Mike McCarthy hired Frank Cignetti Jr. to replace Van Pelt, who Dan Feeney Authentic Jersey coached Rodgers since 2014 — the second of his two MVP seasons.

It is no great revelation that Saquon Barkley is going to be quite high on or, more likely, at the top of the Giants’ draft board, but there is, if not an ongoing debate, certainly plenty of discussion over whether or not the second-overall pick in an NFL draft is too high to select a running back.

“I don’t think No. 2 overall is too high to take any player that warrants that pick,’’ Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday at the NFL owners’ meetings. “I’m sure you’re asking about a particular running back and I don’t think so, no.’’

“Shame on me if I don’t know him,” Gettleman said. “I think that everybody’s said he’s a great, great human being. I’ll find out for myself.”

Ultimately, Gettleman, after plenty of input from scouts and coaches, has final say on the pick — with approval from ownership, of course. Gettleman did not exactly put on a poker face and downplay Barkley’s ability when assessing his talent, calling his skill set “unusual, I’m telling you.” That is not all Gettleman said.

“He can string together moves and get in and out of stuff,’’ he said. “It’s funny, I did [Barkley’s film breakdown] right before I came down here. He’s unique, no doubt about it. He’s big, he’s powerful, he can step on the gas, he’s got different levels of speed, and he catches the heck out of the ball, and he sees the blitz pickup stuff.”

“I think that expression ‘blowing up’ is overused and it can have sort of a negative connotation,’’ Tisch said Monday. “I think a lot of the moves that Dave has made in bringing in a number of exciting free agents, bringing in [Alec] Ogletree on the trade, I think it’s going to enhance the team. I’m very excited about how our new defensive coordinator starts to work with his players. The Giants 2018, I’m very excited about and I hope the fans will share my enthusiasm now and as the season progresses we give them more of what they want.’’

Tisch was part of the Giants’ contingent that dined last week with Josh Rosen, the UCLA quarterback and one of the top prospects in this draft.

“His table manners — unbelievable,’’ Tisch joked. “He was brought up very well. He’s a very charismatic young man.’’

The Indianapolis Colts appear to have two obvious options with the sixth overall pick: Take one of the top two overall talents in Penn State running back Saquon Barkley and Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson, or trade down again..
The Buccaneers finished 27th overall last season in rushing offense (90.6 yards per game) and yards per carry (3.7). Plus, Barkley is a weapon in the passing game. Fellow running back Charles Sims, who managed 35 receptions last season, remains a free agent.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported the Seahawks’ talks with Kaepernick are in a holding pattern, but nothing has been decided.Authentic Youth Geoff Swaim Jersey
Davis, 28, agreed to a one-year contract for the veteran’s minimum. A 2012 undrafted free agent, Davis has not thrown a Duncan Keith Womens Jersey pass since the 2015 season.

Elite Kids Justin Bailey Jersey Kaepernick, 30, went unsigned last season despite throwing for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns against four interceptions during the 2016 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers. His national anthem protests appear to be the overarching cause of his continued unemployment. Kaepernick has sued the NFL claiming its owners colluded to keep him out of the league.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been heavily invested in this year’s tight end class even after signing free agents Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Niles Paul.

South Dakota State’s Dallas Goedert can immediately step into the lineup as a move tight end or slot receiver. The former Jackrabbit caught 164 passes for 2,404 yards and 18 touchdowns the last two seasons.

Womens Johan Larsson Jersey Authorities say Aldon Smith is being transferred to an inpatient substance abuse treatment center as he awaits his next court date.
The former Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers linebacker was booked into jail a week ago for violating a condition Womens Zach LaVine Jersey of his electric monitoring while out on bail. According to court testimony, Smith had a 0.40 blood-alcohol level when he showed up at the sheriff’s department.Alex Ovechkin Authentic Jersey
Leonard reports that the Giants are seeking a first-round pick plus. The plus is negotiable, suggesting the Giants would take less than two first-rounders.

Los Angeles makes sense as a landing spot for Beckham since he calls it home in the offseason, and the Rams lost Sammy Watkins to the Chiefs in free agency, leaving a spot for a No. 1 receiver. Beckham would give the Rams a name to sell when they open their new $2.6 billion stadium in 2020.

Both General Manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay declined comment to Leonard, which, since Beckham remains under contract to another team, they are required to do under NFL rules.

The Rams already are listed among the top Super Bowl contenders. Now, imagine if they can land both Beckham and Ndamukong Suh.

The timing and results of my tests establish circumstances of unknowing supplement contamination, not the use of performance enhancing substances.

Sanchez remains a free agent after spending last season as a backup behind Mitchell Trubisky and Mike Glennon聽on the Chicago Bears.

The No. 5 overall pick by the Jets in 2009, Sanchez has not started since playing for the Eagles in 2014-15.

Zay Jones’ bizarre incident in Los Angeles last week will not impact his spot on the Bills’ roster, General Manager Brandon Beane said, via Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News.

Beane and coach Sean McDermott both have talked with Jones, Beane said.

LeBron James will suit up for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the New York Knicks on Monday, marking Game No. 81 of 81 in which the star forward will have played this season.Game Doug Baldwin Jersey Should he get through the game without a hitch, James will set himself up to also play against the Knicks in Wednesday’s regular-season finale and thus play in all 82 games for the first time in his 15-year career.

The Mets, who have matched the best nine-game start in franchise history, entered this series with a 1.31 bullpen ERA and an overall team ERA of 2.40. Both of those numbers rank second in the majors. On Monday, their bullpen continued that trend with three scoreless innings.

New York will go with right-hander Jacob deGrom on Tuesday. He is off to a strong start with a 2-0 record and a 1.54 ERA. DeGrom, who played college ball in the state at Stetson University, is 47-32 with a 2.95 ERA in his career.

They know they are a good team, Mets manager Mickey Calloway said of his team.

A strikeout pitcher, deGrom has 12 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings this season, and the feeling in New York Akiem Hicks Jersey is that he has yet to hit his groove. Last summer, he won eight straight starts from June 12 to July 24, the longest streak in the majors in 2017.

The Marlins hit .264 with three homers in two games against deGrom last year. DeGrom was 0-1 with a 4.73 ERA in those games, although it comes with a caveat since the Marlins cleaned house trading away their entire outfield and their standout second baseman. Standout catcher JT Realmuto is injured as are third baseman Martin Prado and shortstop JT Riddle.

We’ll see how tonight goes, James said Monday morning. I’ve been telling you that for the last four weeks. So my mindset is focus on tonight, and if I come out healthy, I’ll be available for Wednesday. That’s all that matters for me.Game Bennie Logan Jersey
